For anything work related... a thread to answer questions about employment.
- Seek advice and ask about work or post information about potential job opportunities that you think might be of interest to other Fukers.
- For work dilemmas and queries or just general chatter.
There's always a great deal of talk spread across threads regarding employment and work - (Universities, Teaching English).
What with many of you being workers: use your knowledge to field those questions and help each other out.

I get £7 an hour as a customer assistant, didn't realise minimum wage wasn't much below that.
Need to read up on human rights for an interview, especially with regards to NI. Anyone got anything I should definitely be reading? Gawk maybe?
